why can hypermedia not be implemented on paper?

Question

2. why are Office applications called productivity tools?

Answer 1

1. The primary benefit of hypermedia is an instantaneous, always-on link to other documents. This can't be accomplished on paper without stapling a copy of every other document to the primary one, and even then is less effective to flip through pages rather than clicking the reference.

2. Office applications exist to enhance productivity - a spreadsheet done on paper requires manual calculations and formatting, while the computer does all that for you. Composing a letter on paper requires a dictionary, white-out or an eraser, etc. These things are faster and easier to do in a word processor. So more time is spent on the content of the spreadsheet or the letter and less on tedious, repetitive and ultimately unnecessary tasks. Productivity is enhanced.

3. Do your own damn homework. These questions are simple and thinking about them for more than 3 seconds will yield an answer.
